My mother's career was over at 40 but she was still trying to be everyone's buddy, always smiling for the cameras.
I'm not a big fan of 'Jersey Shore' and those kinds of shows where people are really playing up to the cameras.
I don't like kissing on camera. It's bad enough to be caught kissing by your parents. But when you have a whole crew watching you, it's a little weird.
I used to hate doing color. I hated transparency film. The way I did color was by not wanting to know what kind of film was in my camera.
The Internet, the camera cellphone and the like have not only sped up the world's information uptake, but they have cheapened that which they capture.
It was dripping and, you know, and there was a whole line of cameras and microphones. I felt like - you remember the honor guards, only it was a dishonor guard.
It doesn't matter if you use a box camera or you use a Leica; the important thing is what motivates you when you are photographing.
No one knows who I am and no-one cares. I could jump in front of a camera man and he'd just tell me to get out of the way.
I was mainly a stage actor. I found film acting mechanical, because it was so technical - there was so much technique with the lamps and the movements of the camera.
It turns out umpires and judges are not robots or traffic cameras, inertly monitoring deviations from a fixed zone of the permissible. They are humans.
I'm really shy with my acting when it's off, because the camera gives me an excuse to be in character, whereas otherwise I would just feel like an idiot.
In 'Winter's Bone,' it's literally the director and the camera operator. That's it. Just a super-small Kubrick crew. You know what I mean? Like, 8 people.
First, the newcomers are eager to come in front of the camera, and later they are like, 'No, sorry, sorry, no pictures'. What is this? I say fame is a very dangerous and bitter thing.
Practicing going over scenes and in front of the camera just to see how that feels, and then ultimately just finding a way to expose yourself to people. That's what I did.
I can't do a one-camera show. I don't know how to do that kind of show where you count in your head and then you do the next line.
I'm a fan of making films. Whether I'm on stage or in front of a camera, one of my first loves is performing for the people. I'd like to do more acting.
I carry a disposable camera. It takes me back to my childhood, when you had to develop your film and wait to see what pictures you got.
Acting in 'Command & Conquer 3' called for me to interact with the player and to look directly into the camera, which is a big no no when filming for TV or film.
The dynamic range of a digital camera is not that much greater than film, particularly if you push the ASA a little bit.
In classical oil painting, there seemed to be a radical turn to seeing things as the camera sees them, with that technological modification. I began to have a tremendous problem with all of this.
Ansel Adams rattled around the Southwest with his battered truck and his view camera, which looked like a giant accordion with a lens attached to it.
